A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sync is also going down. I hope that the blackout will have some impact on the execs, but I'm not expecting anything real to come.
Even if reddit reverses any of their pricing plans following the blackout, I think that's it for at least some of the apps that already announced their shutting down. You just can't run a business (or even volunteer lots of your personal time) if reddit has already shown, that you and your product mean nothing to them and they are willing to alienate their most passionate users with a mere 30 days lead time.
Yeah and NSFW content will be gone anway. A major deal breaker for many, not only necessarily for porn but for other random NSFW stuff which pop up in most subreddits. Paying more for less is a no go for most people, understandably.
Aww man, Sync Pro was my Reddit :(
one of the best Android apps out there, UI-wise.
